Effective Bridal Weight Loss
By Jan Walker Pinnington
Your plans are underway and your big day is fast
approaching. If you’re like most brides, looking and feeling
your very best is essential to an unforgettable experience
and bridal weight loss may be on the top of your mind.
If so, you’re not alone. With more than 60% of the U.S.
population listed as overweight, and more than one third of
the population now labeled as clinically obese, chances are
that you or someone you know is struggling with their
weight.
Many things can contribute to weight gain including improper
diet, lack of exercise, toxic exposure, and stress on the
body. For example, did you know that the body will produce
fat cells to wrap around toxins regardless of how few
calories you consume? This is done as a defense mechanism to
keep those toxins away from your vital organs, and to keep
you staying healthy. “But”, you say, “I don’t eat paint or
cleaners”! It’s true that toxins come in all forms including
household cleaning and repair products, but they also come
from many of our food sources.
Artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors were all born in
a chemical lab and enter our bodies through the foods we
ingest. Nitrates, hydrogenated oils, binders, thickening
agents, preservatives, and basically any ingredient you
can’t pronounce, have also been manufactured and added to
our foods.
The Food and Drug Administration tests these types of
additives and if deemed safe, will allow them into our food
sources. However, the FDA does not have the ability to test
the quantity of consumption, the effect of multiple
exposures, or the interaction between them. So, if you’re
like most people that consume a diet soda with a hamburger
and side salad for lunch, then you have just ingested
aspartame, additives, hormones, preservatives, insecticides,
and pesticides. Not much fun - especially when bridal weight
loss is the goal.
Now that you know where toxins come from and the fact that
the body manufactures fat cells to protect itself, you must
also be made aware that there is something you can do about
it as well.
Nutritional cleansing is an ancient practice of detoxifying
the body to bring balance and healing. As the body
detoxifies, it opens the door for fat cells to be used as
energy, allowing you to lose weight safely. When you lose
weight safely, you are placing your body in a state of
healing which reduces the chance for rebound or the return
of unhealthy habits.
There are many ways you can detoxify in order to lose weight
safely. The most effective method relies on replenishing the
body and feeding the cells nourishment from vitamins,
minerals, essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids.
You will also need to drink 8 to 10 cups of water a day to
help with the process. Most detoxification plans are 24 to
48 hours and include abstinence from traditional foods and
supplementing with herbal teas and liquids that help to
purify the liver and other vital organs.
If bridal weight loss is important to you, or just knowing
how to lose weight safely, then take some time to learn
more. Knowledge is key and when your goal is to have that
unforgettable experience on your wedding day it’s nice to
know that there are safe, effective cleansing programs that
will work.
